Dental Foundation training is the first stage in continuing lifelong learning and the development of proficiency through training and experience.
This new Oxford Handbook - written by generalists, trainees, and specialists who themselves have undergone training - provides an excellent resource for both those just starting their career as a dentist and those who are involved in their training and mentorship. Oxford Handbooks are written to a consistently high standard and this volume is no exception - chapters are systematically laid out and well-organised, with clear explanations of concepts and terminology. Covering all aspects of dentistry and training over 13 chapters, this guide is a very detailed resource addressing not only clinical disciplines but also the leadership, management, and governance skills that any young professional will need to be aware of. By reading this handbook as a trainee, you will be in a strong position to maximise your training opportunities in whatever role you are in, as well as use it as a reference throughout to aid with decision-making, writing up projects or completing a portfolio of training.
